I never understood managers (in so many cases) loyalty to the closer they chose at the start of the year, It makes Francona's making Papelbon the closer all so sweet, you wouldnt expect a that from him.

CBC is a terrible situation for the BP, not having that "guy" is so tough for a team.

its amazing Reitsma is still holding his job, the guy cant get lefties out and hardly gets righties out. Not a closer when you cant get both arms out.
